Wikipedia article




"'Tradicin'" ("Tradition") is a 1993 song by American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan. It was released as the third single from her first all Spanish-language album, 'Mi Tierra'. The song is heavily influenced by African and Cuban rhythms, and became the first song by Estefan to top the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart, even though it was a Spanish language song. The single was released as a CD single and CD maxi, but some promotional singles were sent to clubs, the main reason why the song went to number-one on that chart for two weeks (the last week of December 1993 and the first week of January 1994).https://web.archive.org/web/20091027122202/http://www.geocities.com/gemitierra1/mitierra-intro.html Tradicin Info-Charts

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "A moment from her lovely "'Mi Tierra'" set has been goosed into a rousing tribal/house anthem (thanks to Tommy Musto's inspired remixes), complete with brassy horns and rumbling backing chants. An irresistible call to the floor that will leave most breathless." The Daily Vault's Mark Millan picked "Tradicion" as his favourite from the album and added "which is exactly that: a traditional acoustic-style song that Estefan revels in; she would use this formula as a template for her stunning 1996 album 'Destiny'."
